| dc.description.abstract | In 2017, the World Hypertension League announced a new resource
to support the development of hypertension training programmes
for healthcare professionals.1
Three key elements are assessed with
the tool: knowledge, attitudes, and practice such that the tool has
been referred to as a KAP survey. The survey is a useful instrument
to identify where gaps in KAP lie and in which healthcare profes‐
sionals. For example, in addition to testing knowledge and practice
for prescribing antihypertensive drug therapy, the survey assesses
confidence to prescribe and attitudes of healthcare professionals
toward task sharing or shifting for such functions. As a result, the
survey can also be used to examine practice against national and
international guidelines and inform implementation of revised guide‐
lines and practice if necessary | en_US |
